A lot has changed for Cadel Piggott recently. Everything he thought he knew about his life has been blown to bits. In some cases, literally. He still has a genius IQ and a fascination with systems of all kinds, but heâs no longer in cahoots with Dr. Darkkon, the most powerful criminal mastermind in the world, and heâs no longer the star pupil at the Axis Institute for World Domination. In fact, now heâs in foster care, awaiting the trial at which heâll have to testify against evil genius Prosper English, a man who was once believed to be Cadelâs father.
With round-the-clock surveillanceâintended to keep him safe until he can testifyâand no computer to call his own, Cadel really doesnât have much of a life
at all.
So when a group called Genius Squad approaches him to join a secret investigation into GenoME, Dr. Darkkonâs pet project, Cadel canât say no, even though he suspects Genius Squad is not quite what it seemsâand even though heâs sure they wonât be able to protect him if Prosper English makes a jailbreak.
